A subreddit dedicated to the late AlphaDream's hit handheld series: Mario & Luigi. With 7 entries full of unique characters, memorable events, and top-notch gameplay, there's plenty to discuss as we share our collective love for the series! The typical color coding in the Mario and Luigi games, with red for Mario and green for Luigi, poses a challenge for individuals with red-green color blindness. It's likely that earlier games were more difficult for color-blind players, while more recent titles, starting from Dream Team, have improved the visual distinction of colored attacks.
The colors might look similar, but the intensity. With everything in all of the Mario & Luigi games being color-coded red for Mario and green for Luigi, how does someone who's red-green or entirely color-blind play this game? Any guesses would be welcome, but I would like to hear from someone who has such color-blindedness. Many of the red and green elements are also marked with M's and L's.
Mario and Luigi switched hats? I think I'm just weak at seeing red, so I'm bad at distinguishing colors that only differ in their amount of red content. Orange looks similar to medium green, yellow looks similar to bright green, purple and deep pink and blue may be a toss-up for me, and I might mistake cyan or light pink for gray. Some of the earlier games would probably be very difficult to play if you're red-green color blind.
I think from Dream Team onward though they started making colored attacks look visually different besides their color. For example, if an enemy shoots an energy ball attack, if it's going for Mario it would be more rounded and if it's going for Luigi it would be more spikey. It would still be.
Mario punches Luigi in the face and he goes blind! Connect with my socials: more. Explore games with color. We see if we can master the sacred art of the splart! Can I do it? Well to tell you the truth, for a colorblind guy, maybe not.:P.
Mario and Luigi's outfits look the same to red. Luigi was always taller, which is what I always used. Also, his hat is much brighter and at a brightness where it's easy to tell the different colors my eyes see apart.
